2015 VUFOA - "EDGE OF REALITY" Melbourne Conference

Saturday, 12 September 2015 from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
(AEST)

Melbourne, VIC

This conference has a great line-up, we encourage you to
be there for this ones in a lifetime Melbourne event.

Experienced researchers from 4 different states of Australia with decades of experience
between them, two
of them are locally
published UFO book authors (South Australian, Keith Basterfield and Bill Chalker
from New South Wales).

Chase Kloetzke all the way from America, author of two
books, “Admissable – The Field Manual”
and “Are Aliens Really Real” Chase currently
holds the position of Deputy
Director of Investigations and Special Assignment with the MUFON organisation - the world's biggest
UFO organisation.

Paul Dean, has the fire power in researching government documents both within Australia and other countries. Paul has submitted
hundreds of Freedom Of Information requests to many Australian government
departments.

UFO investigation has many synergies with many other forms
of investigation,
methodology, process,
physical trace elements, eyes witnesses and many more pieces of evidence can be
followed to try and discover who or what the event was. How it had a deep
profound effect on the people involved can sometimes result in amazing
conclusions and outcomes.. There are many tools that are used in this huge task
and UFO investigation can take many different trips down the rabbit hole. Join
us as we explore from our presenters different aspects used around Australia
and the United States of America.

Keith
first became interested in the UFO phenomenon in 1967, when there was a wave of
UFO sightings in the United Kingdom, where he lived. Moving to Adelaide, South
Australia, in 1968 he joined a local UFO group. From there he became involved
at the local, national, and international level for the next 47 years.

Keith’s
research on aspects of the phenomena, ranging from orange lights in the sky, to
the after effects of UFO abductions, has been published in such places as:

• the former APRO Bulletin

• the MUFON UFO Journal

• Magonia

• the former International UFO Reporter

• the Journal of UFO Studies

• the prestigious psychology journal
Professional Psychology: Research and Practice.

as
well as numerous Australian and European UFO journals. Keith’s first book
appeared in 1981 with a revised edition in 1997 titled “UFOs: A Report on
Australian Encounters.”

His
published work has featured:

• in-depth case studies

• catalogues of various classes of events

• and discussion on the causes of the UFO
phenomenon.

Keith
has lectured in South Australia; nationally in a variety of locations, and also
in the US. He has facilitated workshops and networking meetings; guided
research teams and undertaken major investigations.

His
research interests have included:

• paranormal aspects of the UFO phenomenon

• personality aspects of Australian abductees

• the implant motif in UFO abductions

• abductees’ belief in and experiences of the
paranormal

• the possible involvement of sleep paralysis in
the UFO phenomenon.

Between
2003 and 2008 he led a major effort, Disclosure Australia, to locate, examine
and analyse the UFO file holdings of the Australian Government. This has
resulted in thousands of pages of documentation which may now be read by
anyone, held in digitised form by the National Archives of Australia.

In
recent years, Keith has been conducting “cold case” analyses of classic
Australian UFO cases. His findings on these, as well as many other topics, may
be read at his Internet blog at:

Sheryl Gottschall

Unravelling the Mystery of the Close
Encounter Experience: Investigations and Challenges

Abstract

Close
encounters are reported all around the world and at the core of close encounter
reports are the memories of thousands of people being taken somewhere else to
be examined, being “shown” or “given” information telepathically, and sometimes
being introduced to their “hybrid” children by unearthly beings. Nonetheless,
in a high percentage of these reports there is no physical evidence to support
that the events occurred. So what processes can we follow in identifying that a
real event took place? Then how do we discern what it is that has actually
occurred?

Sheryl
discusses her procedures for investigating close encounter reports, the
importance of developing a context for these experiences, the efficacy of
hypnosis as a research tool, the challenges when investigating reports of close encounters,
the importance of taking an eclectic approach to investigations, and moving the
research forward.

“There are more sightings now than ever but that is a result of people having technology at their fingertips to capture incidents as they happen,” Mr Rigoni said.

He said VUFOA was close to completing its latest investigation into a case witnessed by numerous people at Inverloch on a several occasions. Video footage shows four amber lights floating in unison.

Other cases include the glowing disc over Albanvale in 2012 and more historic cases like the 1966 Westall UFO and the disappearance of pilot Fred Valentich at King Island.

Each case will be re-examined at the Edge of Reality Ufology conference in September.

“More than 10,000 UFOs are reported every year around the world,” Ms Kloetzke.

“We are only scratching the surface.’’

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: NOVEMBER 5-8, 2015This historic conference includes a variety of events and panels, including a special pre-conference tour of the forest site where Travis disappeared and a screening of the new documentary Travis.

Reported Sightings to VUFOA

As you can imagine we have had a huge response to our sightings database. We have been working very hard in the background to investigate and complete each case we receive. Our "PIT CREW" has now managed to complete many of these cases. We are very pleased to present to you our findings.

Please keep in mind many cases either lack information or provide witnesses who are no longer keen to assist in following up on their initial reports.

Object movement Appeared to be propelled
Please include additional information
It was not yet dark. There were two objects, high in the West, which I thought were meteors until I viewed them through binoculars. They, each, had not one tail but two parallel tails. The tails were not long and broken like meteors, but short and perfect and more like plasma than fire. Each object appeared to have the same length twin tail. Also they moved too slowly to be meteors, sometimes appearing to stop altogether. Eventually they disappeared over the horizon. Also, what alerted me to look up at the sky to begin with was a sound like a crack of thunder. Otherwise there was no other noise.

On Monday 29/09/14 at about noon we were travelling on Great Ocean Road (possibly somewhere between Lorne and Apollo Bay) when we stopped to admire the view. My daughter (11) took some pics with her iphone4.
Not sure what this is - could be a bird? I was also looking at the view but in the other direction and didn't notice this but it came up on her photo. Could be nothing - just thought I'd seek opinion. Thanks :-)

Please include additional information
My partner saw it as well. It was a bright floating round object towards West of Brunswick, VIC. It was moving in a circular floating motion and emitted bright white light like a bright star. Then we were watching it for about a minute or two then it suddenly disappeared as if it was sucked by the sky. No clouds were nearby and the moon is up in bright day light towards East of Brunswick.

No sound there was 2 they seemed to stop and then moved off in opposite directions 1 to the NW & 1 to the SE. The photos attached are poor as they have a lot of camera movement. The one with the dots clear is what I have put in over the moved image and the colour of the dots I have placed is correct to what we saw. There was 4 of us .

Object movement Erratic
Please include additional information
The object was vertical, approximately 10 - 15mts tall, metallic. Long and thin, in the middle a large, round shape, with two smaller round shapes equidistant from the centre. It was very high in the sky, and slowly came lower, then moved up again in changing directions and at different altitudes. I called my kids to come and have a look. I then had to go to golf. My son and I watched the object all the way, about 15 minutes. We watched it rise, and eventually disappear. It had the same profile as an aeroplane if you looked at it front on, but the wings vertical, not horizontal.
